David Shook's response: It is truly humbling to receive such a review. Being able to help a client in such a situation makes me appreciate what I do. But in the end it takes a parent to step forward. Albert did that and I’m glad I was able to play a part.

Highly recommended attorney

I hired Mr. Shook for a divorce. Although my wife and I reconciled, Mr. Shook represented me very well. He was genuinely concerned about my situation and made himself available to me the best he could. His billing was fair and accurate.

David Shook's response: It is always nice to hear positive words from clients. It is satisfying to solve a client's legal problem. I know that divorce can be a long, onerous process that can be emotional and expensive. I strive to navigate my clients through this process as quickly and economically as possible.

I was extremely impressed with the legal assistance and guidance provided by Mr. Shook. I could not have asked for better legal representation. He was professional and treated me with respect regarding all proceedings. He was knowledgeable as well as trustworthy; I would highly recommend his services to anyone.

A year or so ago i was looking to get legal advice on a divorce and every lawyer i called was rude and wanted a fortune just to talk. Then i finally came across David shook online and told him my situation. From the start he was understanding, very knowledgeable and professional. I'm so thankful that i continued looking for a lawyer because he met my expectations and then some. Very friendly and reachable guy at all times which is harder for some lawyers you pay your whole bank account to. I would and have already recommend David shook to whoever is in need of a lawyer that knows his stuff and gets the job done at a reasonable price. I will continue to use his service's when ever i need legal advice. This is the go to lawyer for people who don't want treated like money is the only reason they are doing this . The man really wants to resolve your legal matter so you can get back to your life. He actually cares for people. Again best lawyer hands down on knowledge, reachability, price, and resolve.

Exceptional Lawyer

Posted by anonymousMon Nov 24 2014

As a father, I can tell you that David Shook has done an exceptional job of representing me in gaining custody of my children. From my very first encounter with David, he gained my trust as an experienced lawyer. If you want an attorney that will go above and beyond and will do what it takes for his clients, choose Mr Shook. I also found his pricing to be fair.

David Shook's response: As a father it is truly gratifying to help another father regain custody of the children, especially when that father's children were wrongfully removed from their custody. I know the importance of children and strive to provide all of my clients the representation they deserve during such a trying time.

Lifesaver for traffic issue, license supsension

Posted by JoySat Oct 11 2014

My daugher had a traffic issue in Bowling Green that resulted in her license being suspension. When we became aware of this issue, we had no idea where to start. We called David and he brought immediate calm to our situation. He gave us advice over the phone in that first phone call, and made himself available for a court appearance the very next day. Due to his expertise, the issue was completely resolved, charges were dismissed and her license was reinstated at no cost. We were lucky that our issue was just a paperwork mixup, but there is no way we could have navigated the system that quickly and ended up with that result on our own. He made both me and my 20 year old daughter feel immediately at ease. My daughter was in very good hands with David. I would recommend him without hesitation.

David Shook's response: It was truly a pleasure to help this young lady with her traffic matter in Bowling Green Municipal Court. When people retain me they are often scared and concerned. It is a pleasure to help them solve their problem and make them feel at ease. I strive to do this for every client I have the pleasure of representing.

I called Mr Shook on a Thursday morning in order to have a motion entered (to reverse a temporary custody Order) prior to 3:00 pm on Friday (if not done by this time, then the case would have taken much longer and many more visits to the court house). He was able to get the job done by 10:30 am on Friday. He and I had phone contact at least 5 times in those 24 hours to keep me informed of his progress.
He traveled over 50 miles from his home base to process my case with a one day notice. He stayed through to the delivery of children to my daughter and I.
I would hire Mr. Shook again if I needed any legal help in OH again.

David Shook's response: It was truly a pleasure representing Miguel's daughter in Seneca County Juvenile Court. When a client has been wronged it is truly a pleasure to be able to right that wrong and to do so in a quick fashion. It is especially gratifying to reunite a mother with her children.

Great Attorney

Mr. Shook is an amazing attorney. He went above and beyond to help me get custody of my child. He was always available to assist me and was very knowledgable about child custody matters. He truly cares about his clients and works hard to get you the results you want. He always maintains a positive attitude and puts his clients first. I would highly reccomend Mr. Shook.

David Shook's response: I'm glad Dallas was pleased with my services. It is truly a pleasure to help a client obtain a result that makes them write such a review. I strive to get these kind of results for all my clients. In the end I would like to think I help all my clients. Often, it is the client who is the biggest help to a case, and Dallas was just such a client.

Mr. Shook is one of a kind....

I have tried three prior lawyers all of which seemed like good lawyers came in with the bark but had no bite. David Shook did all and then some for what he said I was going to recieve. David was on time with call backs, had a great understanding of the majistrates decision making which in return helped him position our next move. Always on time, took the time to explain everything we did not underatand, was able to come up with questions on the spot in addition to the prepared questions. Great posture, very confident, relatable, good rates and a person worthy of this great review. Thank you David for all you have and continue to do for our family our path is forever changed due to your zealeous representation. Being a man in wood county and winning custody. if that doesn't speek for its self nothing will.

I endorse this lawyer. He is ethical and knowledgeable. I know that when he is on the other side of a matter, he will be pleasant and efficient; he will not create conflict where none exists. He is responsive and protects his clients. He is a good advocate.
